How Another Church Came
On October 4, 1930, occurred the disaster to the ill-fated airship R101. Among the many who perished on that sad occasion was one Michael Rope, son-in-law of Mr. W. 0. Jolly, J.P.
A beautiful memorial chapel was erected on the estate of Mr. Jolly, The Grange, dedicated to the Holy Family and St. Michael, and opened in 1931.
Model of R 101 The chapel is open to the public and serves the district of Kesgrave. The Rev. S. Malone, of St. Mary's,, Ipswich, says Mass there once a week. The Blessed Sacrament is, however, reserved there always, and the chapel open; and, as our correspondent writes, " attracts the eye, and invites the passer-by, on the road from Woodbridge to Ipswich, to enter."
If the passer-by does enter, a curiously modern sight meets his eye, for there, preserved in this chapel, raised as a memorial to one of its victims, hangs a three-foot model of the ill-fated airship itself, the R101.

The only secondary school for boys in East Anglia is conducted by the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The growth of their brave venture has been remarkable. They opened this school year with just double the number of pupils they had at the commencement of the last school year.
